Stopped by for Sunset Toast. It was really chilly and they had the windows open. Food was great. Had a Bourbon cocktail and egg rolls plus the mandatory champagne shot. Service was a little slow on my first visit, but I will definitely be back. read more

Terrace at the River Inn - Mississippi River - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Enjoyed a farewell dinner at the Terrace!! I love the view from this restaurant and they have great appetizers and entrees. We arrived at opening which is 5PM. Ordered drinks from Anthony who was a cool bartender!! We were a party of ten or so and was ready for adult beverages on a Friday evening after a long work week. Victoria was our server and she did an amazing job managing our party!! We started with appetizers . . . Lamb sliders, spring rolls, pimento cheese balls, shrimp and a charcuterie board . . . Yum yum!! For entrees most people ordered either the filet, the salmon or the salad. All very well made dishes . . . Everyone seemed to enjoy!! Thank you Terrace, Victoria and Anthony for a great evening!!! I highly recommend the Terrace for a great evening of dinner and drinks!!! read more

Don't get me wrong, I love the Terrace Grill but on New Year's Eve , I had the worst experience . I do not know if it was over booked or short staffed but I've never been so disappointed. I dined -in with two of my friends and did the 3 course NYE menu . My first plate was the crab cakes with corn, the crab cakes and corn was room temperature. It wasn't fresh at all. My entree I ordered was the Filet Mignon with Lobster. My steak wasn't cooked at the right temperature. After-that, they ended up taking it back and accidental gave me someone else's plate. I wasn't happy with my dessert either . The strawberry crepe seem to be undercooked as well. I did enjoy my cocktail, I always order the upside down cake martini and it was delicious. read more

Food poisoning!! Beware! Menu is small & pricey and drinks are only okay. It's a shame because the view is nice but you're better off going elsewhere unfortunately. read more

Came in to catch the game. The food was pretty good tonight & the drinks are standard as well. The shutters were open so it was nice to feel the natural breeze. Service was a bit slow, but we still had a good time. This is a convenient spot for us and a laid back vibe. read more

Very nice place, food was great, servers very nice but we waited 15-20 minutes to order or even speak to a server, place wasn't close to busy. As far as location and mood, it was great. Overlooking the river, watching the bridge lights. Great place except for slow service read more

Great view, otherwise mediocre at best. Food was deeply underwhelming. It was fine but just fine and in some cases less so. I had the salad with salmon. The salmon was fine but the salad had tired wilted arugula and canned mandarin oranges that were so past their prime that they had that disturbing tingle in the mouth. My friend had the beef sliders and she said they would be better as racquetballs. Another friend had the herb chicken and liked it. My other friend had the "homemade" spring rolls. She said they were dry and hard. Nobody at the table bothered to finish them. Shrimp dish wasn't bad, and the spinach artichoke dip was tasty. Service was polite and friendly, but inattentive and slow. Wish we had gone elsewhere. read more

Terrace at the River Inn - Limp $5 plate of asparagus - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

So I forgot to make reservations for dinner. Been a tough week working hard. Wanted to go out with my wife. I got it! Let's go to the Terrace Grill. Great location. You can eat a great meal and watch the sunset over the MIGHT MISSISSIPPI RIVER! Nice! We had a wonderful time. Nice vibe. Enjoyed the crowd and food was delicious. We had the steak. It was prepared the way we like it and was served with "blackened okra". Not bad at all. I didn't hate it. Next time you are out and would like casual this is a great spot. read more

Terrace at the River Inn - View from the Terrace. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Really beautiful setting but overpriced for sure. We waited over an hour for our food, were charged for something we didn't order, and did not get our water refilled enough. Our waiter was overworked and it led to other issues happening. We probably will not be back - we came for date night and it's definitely more of a social setting for groups of friends to drink and share plates. read more

Great food. Excellent food. Poor timing (in fact very bad timing) on service. We waited over an hour on food.

This is my second time here and had a much better experience this time! Our server was kind and attentive. The view is beautiful looking across the river! Drinks are either a hit or miss but depends on the flavor you're craving. Wish the menu was a little bigger and offered more vegan options. Ambience is cozy and intimate and music is great! Parking can be tricky read more

This bar/restaurant is located on the 4th floor of the River Inn hotel. We went at night and it had a nice dimly lit night vibe with a nice view of the river and Memphis bridge. Our waitress was very attentive and nice. The lamb sliders were not the greatest but pretty tasty. They give you two so if you have a big appetite, you may want to get more food. I got the fries with it and was still hungry afterward. The truffle aioli was flames and I kept asking for more since they only give you a very small amount initially. The beef sliders were pretty good also, nothing special. The buns had a slightly sweet taste which I liked. The shrimp was solid too. Not writing home about it but would get it again. For the rum punch, just make sure you actually mix it together before drinking. Overall, the food was decent, drinks were solid, loved the vibe. Would come back read more

Terrace at the River Inn - Menu for Champagne Thursdays - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Champagne Thursdays! Great atmosphere on top of a lovely inn. Delicious salads & mini plates. The cocktail list was very impressive. Try the fried pimento cheese balls, 10/10! read more

My first visit and I enjoyed it! Husband and I went just before the sun started going down and was able to get a seat next to the window. It was a nice warm breeze. They had a nice variety of music playing as well as he game was on. It wasn't loud though. The wait staff was very attentive. I have the beef sliders and they were great! Will definitely be back and bringing friends with me. read more

Great spot for a drink open windows with a nice river view. Great selection of bourbons. The staff were great helping us decide which small plates to share. The pimento cheese balls were a great start but the lamb sliders stole the show. Highly recommend stopping in for a drink and a bite read more

The view alone is worth the visit for sunset!! Thursday night is $6 champagne which is a great deal for the amazing variety of champagne, but our bourbon chicken kabobs were not great. Ideal for drinks at sunset before dinner somewhere else! read more

Terrace at the River Inn - View from the patio. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Super nice atmosphere! I loved the bartender and their willingness to try and seat our big party. We were here for an engagement and it was truly a magical night. I was a bit disappointed with the portion sizes in comparison to the price. I had the filet mignon with asparagus and potatoes and I was done eating in about 5 minutes. The food was tasty and our server was great. The small plates for the expensive prices are a big turn off. read more

Terrace at the River Inn - Filet Mignon with asparagus and potatoes - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

If you are looking to hold an event at this establishment PLEASE GO ELSEWHERE. This place will take your money and not be held accountable for not delivering on what you paid for including food and service. The staff is absolutely incompetent and the managers are children who are going to run this business straight into the ground. I've have tried multiple times to reach upper management/business owners and have been unsuccessful. This is another place in Memphis that will most likely be closing soon. If you are having an event that is special to you, please DO NOT have it here. You will be Highly DISAPPOINTED. read more

Bread was ice cold in the middle, 5 rolls for a table of 6. Plates came out over about a 5 minute span. Dinner included dessert but the waiter seemed surprised anyone would order coffee, was't sure if they would even make it. Nice view of the river though. read more

I was highly disappointed on my recent visit. Service was very slow. We ordered a spinach dip and cheese and charcuterie. Spinach dip tasted bad and our charcuterie board was simply a few slices of cheese and 3 grilled sausages. When our server brought it to the table, there was no sausage. When we asked, her response was "oh, I took it before it was ready." She returned with the 3 sausages on a small plate. The cheese still had paper on the bottom and the sausages were crunchy and hard. Our silverware sets were dirty-not just water marks but dried food on them. When we asked for the bill, our server did not even acknowledge that we barely touched the food nor did she check to see if everything tasted okay. 2 bites or 2 minutes rule was not used. We work in the service industry. Very disappointed. We will not be returning. read more

The Terrace is a wonderful spot on Mud Island for drinks and small bites before dinner. We have been on several occasions and they have never disappointed. The staff is very friendly and attentive (here's looking at you, Nick!) and the views in the evening of the Mississippi are spot on. The fried pimento cheese balls are one of the best fried appetizers I have had. Lamb sliders, mojo shrimp, fries and salads are some of the other plates we have tried, each highly recommended. Good selection of house cocktails offered. Don't go looking for a full dinner as the large plates only consist of filet and salmon, but it is the perfect spot to hit up before a night out. read more

We actually had a good time here. We rented this place out for a birthday party. The view was absolutely amazing and things turned out pretty well. I'd be tempted to give the experience 4 stars BUT there were too many little problems. The worst was the horrible bartender/server. Face all balled up. Hitting on my niece instead of serving drinks like he should've been doing. Destroyed our cake in an attempt to slice it. Spilled beer on me as they frantically tried to clear out the room, etc... The other bad part was when we were trying to settle the bill. I think I waited a full 30 minutes for them to figure out something... I dunno what? Then later we find out they charged one of the patrons and not us for the bill! Crae-crae... Parking also sucked... But still we had a good time here. Go for the view... read more

@TerraceMemphis is without a doubt, my new favorite place in Memphis!! I was a fan of the Madison rooftop...until they started charging cover and not protecting their visitors from the elements (no shade or heat....whhhhaaaat?!). So when I heard about Terrace at the River Inn, I thought hmmmm gorgeous river view and cocktails...need to get myself there ASAP! And indeed I did. Indeed I did. I have only been there twice but I am bound to defend my Duchess title with at least 30 check-ins in the future. The first time I went it was still nice outside and I loved that the patio was open. But then when night fell and it got a bit chilly, they closed the windows to create an "inside" environment. Love! And the second time it was just closed in the entire time (it should be noted that I had called the Madison rooftop but they were closed due to the weather). We were nice and toasty even though it felt like we were outside (the walls are ceiling-to-floor windows). And they have a really cool grass wall keeping with the outdoorsy theme. OK so the Madison has a teensy bit of a better view of the river but the food (their cheese plate - swoon), cocktails (realllllllly yummy), service, adorable view overlooking Harbor Town makes the Terrace at River Inn win hands down ten times over in comparison. Girls night, date night, drinks with my mom, celebrations...pretty much any occasion is perfect for this place. FYI, they don't take reservations. First come, first serve. read more

I was so pleasantly surprised by this place...been in the Memphis area for almost 17 years and never been here. We recently moved from Collierville to Mud Island and have been exploring area restaurants. After reading the reviews for this place I decided to give it a try and wow! The afternoon was beautiful; windows were open and the view was spectacular! The menu is more of an appetizer/small plate menu but everything looked so good. I watched the cheese plate go out and I know what I'm getting next visit but this visit I decided to try the lamb sliders and their hand cut fries...outstanding! The mini burgers were delicious and the presentation was spot on; a must try! The fries..."forget about it"...NY slang for Damn good! This is now my new favorite place...I'll be back! read more

.....the view! Oh my the view That I all you have to say about this place. It is a very romantic venue and a great place to take a date or to just have a glass of wine. I ordered the cheese plate and a glass of the Cab. The cheese plate was not the best I have ever had but it was ok. The Cab was just what I have wanted/needed however, I wish that they had red wine glasses. They only had white wine glasses. I love nothing more than drinking from a nice red wine glass. Would I go back...? Of course! I would for sure go back here for a date or a chill night with the girls for a nice glass of wine and that view! read more

**Would give 3.5 if option** It was our servers first night but she did her best and we love her for it. Tequila Tuesday was ehhh but the margs were good. 10/10 on the egg rolls and spinach artichoke dip, but the bruschetta was literally 2 diced tomato on a crouton 2/10 Stunning at sunset.. it's a vibe to go just for the vibes and get drinks with friends read more

Enjoyed happy hour at The Terrace on a summer evening with my parents. Happy hour is from 5-6 PM. Select cocktails are $6 each and half priced appetizers. We all ordered the River Rum Punch, yummy and colorful! We then made dinner out of the appetizer menu. We each ordered the sliders - fantastic! They came with two sliders a person, and were surprising filling. We had two orders of fry's - perfectly cooked and plentiful served with mayo and ketchup. We also ordered the baked feta and olives served with toasted bread rounds. The view of the Mississippi was stunning and can be seen from every seat. Loved this experience and can't wait to go back! read more

Fantastic view of the Mississippi! Food was good. Small plates to share and a Filet for the adults. Go at sunset for a fantastic view on a clear night. read more

First of all, it's the view for me. Go in the evening time, while the sun is setting!!! And, the view of the colorful bridge is right there!! Beautiful! Every single time I walk into Terrace Grill, I receive V. I. P. Treatment. The service is always excellent! The bartender is amazing and recommends the best drinks to pair with your dinner. I've sat at the bar, so many times because of that, plus there's always great company! read more

The view of the bridge is everything. I was there for a birthday dinner and only got to sample the chicken pasta with veggies & lobster quesadilla. They both were pretty good. It's a restaurant within a restaurant. Once you enter You have to take the elevator to the 4th floor to gain access. read more

The views will not disappoint and not a bad seat in the house. There appeared to be ample parking behind the Inn if you might be concerned about parking on Harbor Town. Staff was attentive and engaging, though our salad never came out. Our filet entree was perfectly cooked and very tender. Great value at $26. Would love to come again and try some of the smaller plates that looked and smelled great as they passed by. read more

Terrace at the River Inn - Views are awesome - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

The Terrace has the view, the atmosphere, the drinks and the appetizers selection nailed down but if you're looking for dinner just realize this is set up much more like tapas. There were only 2 entrées on the entire menu. My order: Fried Pimento Cheese - This may be a little biased as a cheese lover but these were amazing. The hot sauce served with them was a perfect compliment. My only complaint was I wish there were more then 4! Chicken Satay - these were basically 4 very small pieces of chicken grilled on skewers. Grilled to the point of dry actually and I could barely get them off the skewer! I read another reviewer mention the same and now I know why. This felt like an afterthought addition to the small plate menu. Wouldn't recommend. Bottom line...if you're looking for somewhere to sit and have drinks over a few small eats and a great view this place is for you. If you want dinner, this probably isn't for you. read more

I loved this place! I met some girls for the Champagne Thursday and we had such fun trying all the different champagnes and small plates. The massive windows were open to the gorgeous river view and sunset. The neat thing is if it rains the windows are closed and you can watch a storm on the river from a great vantage point. The service was great. There is also a happy hour menu so non champs drinkers can select from there. read more

We saw other reviews and were excited to come here. The service was the worst we'd had maybe ever - being honest, not dramatic. The problem with that is this place is top dollar, so service should be up to par. We had the shrimp, it was good. We had the filets, both ordered medium, they were cooked completely differently (one was medium rare, one was a little above medium). The "roasted" potatoes were black charred on half, where they "roasted" too long. The filet also says 6oz but we were both shocked at the $29 price tag for a very small - but good - piece of meat. They were out of the desert I wanted, and they are way overpriced on bourbon. Cute atmosphere, food was decent, but the service and food falls far under what our tab was. read more

This place was just okay. Nothing special. The cocktails weren't terribly expensive, but they certainly take their time bring out your food so you feel forced to order another drink. The small plates we ordered are - beef sliders, artichoke dip, and calamari. Beef sliders were great, only comes with two which I wish I had known. But beef is good and bread is so good. Artichoke dip was average. Not bad, not great. It definitely dried up at the end but the pita bread that came with it was delightful. Calamari was awful. So bad. It is basically calamari chips because they over fried the calamari sooo much it was crunch and dry my entire mouth. They also way OVER pepper the calamari that your basically eating dry, crunchy pepper chips. I got the whiskey and the Moscow mule. Both good. Both generous with their alcohol. Waitress was nice. Came and checked in but I did have to ask for a water refill, which I'm personally just used to waiters filling it up. One of the managers came around and asked if we wanted the blinds to be pulled up so we could watch the sunset. We did and it was such a beautiful view. I recommend the terrace if you're just wanting a quick drink. But if you're wanting a drink and food just go somewhere else. read more
